Chrissy Teigen dares to go bare in Miami Beach

A few weeks after eating and drinking her way through SOBEWFF, Chrissy Teigen was snapped arriving at MIA Tuesday. Here’s to hoping the model — in a hat, shawl and thigh-high boots — brought some lighter clothes along for the trip. The pro was smiling for paparazzi even though at a NYC event Sunday she told InStyle, “It’s like, universally known I hate the airport … everyone hates the airport. It’s fun to talk and complain about because, No. 1, you’re so bored there, and also, everyone is so annoying!”

Teigen was fully dressed in a smile — and that’s really it — later in the day frolicking in the surf in Miami Beach in her birthday suit.

But the nudity was legit: She was taking part in a photo shoot with Bruce Weber. Hubby JohnLegend was close by to cover her up with a robe.

FIT FOR A KING

Million Dollar Listing Miami star Chris Leavitt has his own ideas why LeBron James’ 12,000-square-foot Coconut Grove mansion just isn’t selling like a hotcake. On Realtor.com, the broker says that the reason has nothing to do with bad feelings after King James up and returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Leavitt, director of luxury sales for Douglas Elliman, thinks the $17 million price tag is a tad high “for the area.”

And folks who have access to this kind of dough likely do not care who the former resident was.

“At this price point people aren’t impressed by who owns it. … The people who buy these homes won’t say, ‘Oh my God, it’s LeBron James’ home! I’m going to buy it.’”

FANCY FOOTWEAR

James’ former teammate, Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade has a new baby: his spring collection of socks is available for sale. According to a release, the six-piece collection draws on “inspiration from high fashion, pop art and graffiti.”

“[It] which embodies my love of art and fashion,” said Wade of his fifth line of socks for Stance. “The fusion of pop-art imagery and bold color combinations will inspire my fans to take their style to another level.”

Styles — featuring such designs as checkerboards, palm trees and even Miami Beach — can be found at Nordstrom or Stance.com.
